Introductory Note to Clement of Alexandria
[1961] Greece is ample, O Cebes, in which everywhere there are good men; and many are the races of the barbarians, over all of whom you must search, seeking such a physician, sparing neither money nor pains.—Phædo, p. 78 A.
[1962] This sense is obtained by the omission of μόνους from the text, which may have crept in in consequence of occuring in the previous text, to make it agree with what Plato says, which is, “And both among Greeks and barbarians, there are many who have shown many and illustrious deeds, generating virtue of every kind, to whom many temples on account of such sons are raised.”—Symp., p. 209 E.
[1963] Plato, Timæus, p. 47 A.
[1964] A mistake of Clement for The Republic.
[1965] Timæus, p. 22 B.
[1966] About which the learned have tortured themselves greatly. The reference is doubtless here to some pillar inscribed with what was deemed a writing of importance. But as to Acicarus nothing is known.
[1967] Otherwise Zaratus, or Zabratus, or Zaras, who, Huet says, was Zoroaster.
[1968] [Direct testimony, establishing one important fact in the history of philosophy.]

[1971] Or Samanæi.
[1972] Altered for Ἀλλόβιοι in accordance with the note of Montacutius, who cites Strabo as an authority for the existence of a sect of Indian sages called Hylobii, ὑλόβιοι—Silvicolæ.
[1973] Βούττα
[1974] Cæsar, Gallic War, book i. chap. 50.
[1975] Sozomen also calls Philo a Pythagorean.
Chapter XVI.—That the Inventors of Other Arts Were Mostly Barbarians.
[1976] [Elucidation XI. infra; also p. 428, infra.]
[1977] νάβλα and ναυλα, Lat. nablium; doubtless the Hebrew נִבֶל
(psaltery, A. V.), described by Josephus as a lyre or harp of twelve strings (in Ps. xxxiii. it is said ten), and played with the fingers. Jerome says it was triangular in shape.
[1978] ἀυτὀχθων, Eusebius. The text has αὐτοσχέδιον, off-hand.
[1979] Literally, fist-straps, the cæstus of the boxers.
